Gregers Monologue from The Wild Duck

From The Wild Duck by Henrik Ibsen

male · melancholic · 43 sec

What? Why, they say this dinner is given in my honor, and I shouldn’t have my best, my only friend? (HJALMAR: But I don’t think your father likes it. I never come to this house.) So I hear. But I must see you and talk to you, for I shall certainly go away again soon. Yes, we two old school-fellows, we have surely been separated long enough, we’ve not seen one another now for sixteen--seventeen years. (HJALMAR: Is it so long?) Yes, it is. Well, how are things going with you? You look well. You’ve grown almost stout and portly.
